		<description>the most important benefit is “ the more traffic to internal pages”. I really felt the difference when my sitelinks appeared in Google results.</description>

		<description>I heard somewhere that to be qualified for sitelinks the website must be in 1st position of google index at a specific keyword for at least 1 year…I don’t know if it’s real, but it makes sense to me…</description>

		<description>Great article, very informative. 

I have just published a related article detailing traffic and conversion rate increases seen after attaining Sitelinks for one of my clients targeted keywords:

Thought it might add something to the discussion.

Many thanks, Darren</description>

		<description>Have to agree with Wayne, SiteLinks for most of us are really only relevant if someone knows your brand already. It would be so much better if they popped up for a chosen keyword. Dream on...</description>

		<description>As you mention, Sitelinks only really reinforce already successful brand names, which is handing more mind share to the bigger players.

That said, I&#039;ve seen small web properties get themselves Sitelinks, but I do feel Google need to be more pro-active and take some of the automatedness [sic] out of how they&#039;re generated.

I wrote a rather successful examination of Sitelinks earlier this year, which highlighted some of the fundamental weaknesses of Sitelinks, which have since shown their hand in the listings for own blog, Blah, Blah! Technology.

Principally, the titles of Sitelinks can often be &quot;polluted&quot; by silly things like the names of the first person to comment within the article selected as a Sitelink.

I&#039;ve since had to block 4 Sitelinks because of the daft way the titles are created / selected.

On the whole, they&#039;re a good thing, but Google don&#039;t seem to demonstrate their control, which undermines my confidence...</description>

		<description>Another top post Ms Smarty - thank you!
Given that you can go into webmaster tools and edit the sitelink pages /titles does anybody think there&#039;s a value in doing that to rank higher on certain pages/keywords ie if you tell Goog that you think that&#039;s one of your top pages do they throw that into the algos?</description>

		<description>I vote for Branding and Company Name ownership benefits.  Rarely will you ever get one for any other keyword phrases.</description>
